Unfortunately, in the case of Milestone Furniture their CA Bhupendra Gandhi has disappeared and refused to take their calls. This has jeopardized the listed company’s financial results for FY23. With Bhupendra’s disappearance, the furniture maker could not get the required data for financial statements. Also, the persons-in-charge of these financial data is absent. Milestone is among the penny stocks and only listed on BSE. On Wednesday, the company gave an update in regards to delay in financial results.
